The Glazer Children's Museum is a children's museum located in downtown Tampa, Florida, next to the Tampa Museum of Art and Curtis Hixon Park, alongside the Tampa Riverwalk. It is part of the Waterfront Arts District.
The Glazer Children’s Museum promotes learning through hands-on, interactive play. The majority of the establishment's effort is focused on visitor experience and educational programming, offering a variety of programs ranging from formal curriculum-based classes for visiting schools or informal workshops for visiting families to camps and specialized programs.
Housed in a 53,000-square-foot facility in downtown Tampa, the museum features 170 interactive exhibits in multiple themed areas. Exhibits are designed to engage children in the process of discovery through play. Traveling exhibits occasionally supplement the museum’s permanent collection as well. These temporary exhibits are meant to create an additional level of engagement for visitors and enhance the guests’ educational experience.
The mission of Glazer Children’s Museum is to create learning environments where children play, discover, and connect to the world around them to develop as lifelong learners and leaders.
